closed sign due to street, and yes we ignore that too because that's want we do. in fact all too often we will look at the sign as if to absorbe it's meaning then cross anyway but the most ignored signs in the entire san francisco bay area is this little red octagon with four little letter s-t-o-p bicylist think it should be a yield sign and apparently so do operators of 4000 pound plus vehicles. on marina blvd in the marina district of san francisco drivers constantly roll through stop signs. soooo i'm going to give you a brief lesson on what it means to stop. if you follow this simple rule i guarantee you, you will never get a stop sign ticket again. when you approach a stop sign simply cease all forward motion, there is no three second rule, you just

have to stop however the longer you stop the better it is. all the weight from your vehicle should shift to the rear, oh and make sure it's behind the limit line which in this case is the beginning of the crosswalk. it if you follow what i just told you, you will never get a ticket for running a stop sign so go ahead practice it! use an empty parking lot if you are worried it might be to difficult. for the record. i do that everytime i drive, everytime even if someone blows a horn at me. because way i see it the horn blower is not going to pay my ticket or go to traffic for me or pay my insurance premium. just saying.. in san francisco, stanley roberts - kron 4 news >> if you were going to the sierras there is a lot of sunshine the weather is looking nice. this through the weekend, temperatures are going to be in the 40's but only single digits in the mornings. it is going to be cool to start off the day for tomorrow in the bay area. 20's in the north bay
